What about:
<script type="text/monkeyscript" disabled="disabled">
// your script text
</script>
This would offer the ability to have a disabled script render as just text;
script [type=text/monkeyscript] {
display: block;
visibility: visible;
font-family: monaco, monospace;
}
This CSS works in Firefox (all the way back to pre 1.0 Mozilla). It's
searchable by search engines, and you can select monkeyscript with a
css attribute selector.
It keeps compatibility with current script tag.
It would also be useful to enable the script:
var context = document.body;
document.getElementById("myscript").execute( context );
This does not, unfortunately, address the current security problems
with inserting an executable, yet untrusted script onto a page.
